[or-roots] Martha Jane Ford Rulaford's doll

[Cecil Houk]

Martha Jane's doll

For as long as I can remember this doll resided in the bottom drawer of my mother's dresser.  In 1997 that is where I found her, but today she is proudly on display at the FRAZIER FARMSTEAD MUSEUM in Milton-Freewater, Oregon.  The dress is new, but made of vintage material.

Martha Jane Ford Rulaford was born in the Walla Walla Valley in 1859.  I don't know when her father, Nineveh Ford, gave her this doll; or when she gave it to my mother, but today she is available to all in perpetuity (that's a big word that means "for ever").
